wimbledon update

FINAL UPDATE : ISNER WINS 70-68 in the fifth set!!!

american (and georgia bulldog bulldyke) john isner is currently wrapped up in a match with french frog nicolas mahut. its a record breaker already, 4-4, 6-3, 7-6, 6-7, 41-42.... and counting. they have been playing for five eight hours. its the most games ever in a set.

all i can say is that if it was a tennisvol out there, this game would have been wrapped up hours ago. good luck john.


UPDATE: "Everybody's watching it in the locker rooms, everywhere. That's the longest match by far any tournament, any Grand Slam. Of course, two big servers. Yeah, I don't know, maybe they should agree on playing tiebreak if it's 50-all."  -novak djokovic

UPDATE 2: 54-54 and 9+ hours. right, emilube?

UPDATE 3: they're taking a break at 58-58 before someone has a bathroom accident. it's getting dark, they could either a) move to a lighted court, or b) pick it up tomorrow morning. what to YOU think they should do?

UPDATE 4: For a second day, the match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut, the longest tennis match in history, has been suspended because of darkness. (via)
SCORE: 4-6, 6-3, 7-6, 6-7, 59-59.
